Minecraft Forums

i am trying to get minecraft pc to work for my two boys and have tried downloading new video drivers, updating java, updating directx. I have a Dell GX520 with windows xp SP3 with 3.79 available RAM. The video card is an Intel 82945G Express Chipset Family and i have downloaded the latest driver for it as well. Here is the error I am getting:

Bad video card drivers!
-----------------------

Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode.
This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers.
